Motorweek 2002 Lincoln Blackwood Road Test

[@matthewbowen5841]

It's hilarious how the luxury truck experiments all failed, with this, thw Mark LT and semi-successful EXT running their course, but hyper luxury, super expensive pickups sold under the "budget" brands have exploded in popularity.

[@aaronlane8276]

Because people want their trucks to come from truck brands, not posh mall crawler brands. That’s why luxury trucks failed.

[@MrAkshun17]

Mark LT wasn't a failure. Ford realized it take away from F150 sales so instead chose to make luxury trim packages in F150s

[@l.e.miller1208]

@@aaronlane8276 It's just funny though because Ford makes Lincolns, and the Cadillac was literally just a rebadged Chevy with aesthetic upgrades.

@@aaronlane8276truck brands literally made these cars, being my point. And luxury trucks haven't failed. You can get some incredibly posh Ford trucks.

[@davidsherrick898]

Super rare today! Only 3300ish ever made. I've seen F150's with this Lincoln grill. To funny!

This Lincoln Blackwood is version luxury of Ford F150

[@bigggmustang73]

Think they forgot to turn traction control off. Should be quicker than 9.2 0-60

[@adrianicln8aguilar479]

They should have made the ford lighting and Harley Davison trucks with the 5.4 4v instead of the 2v💯

[@Hubjeep]

If they left the bed and tailgate similar to the F-150 it may have sold better as well as cost less to produce.

[@Hubjeep]

I assumed this was an "upscale" option to an F-150. Turns out it has a weird bed/tailgate, only 2-WD only "truck". Like Lincoln was going to convert some of their audience into pickup owners?!?!

[@DrCharlesMontague]

Where Lincoln messed up was the useless bed. The later Mark LT made more sense there. I remember when this luxury truck was a freak, and now people blow $80k on damn luxury barge trucks.

I have a 2002 Lincoln black wood and it coasted 4,200 💵

[@damilolaakanni]

Why buy this when you could get either the Town Car for RWD or the Navigator for 4WD? Plus if you wanted a truck you would have gotten a fully loaded F-150.

[@Butchcub75]

Boy Ford really screwed up with this. Its was a pretty truck but the useless carpeted trunk aka bed and NO 4wD was just stupid. I can forgive no 4wd option, lots of people dont need want or use 4wd in their pickup, but that bed... stupid stupid stupid.

[@fernandorocha-dx1wv]

Lincoln Blackwood is insane and different truck

[@Butchcub75]

@@fernandorocha-dx1wv looks great (much better than the Lincoln LT) but as a truck with no 4wd or usefull for dirty things bed, its kinda useless

[@SubieandFriends]

The bed cover is what really ruined this truck….otherwise it would have been a decent hit!!!

[@Hubjeep]

I was thinking the same thing until I heard: 3:34 "No 4-WD option".

[@sallicio]

Lol this review didn’t age well at all

[@Astro64-BS]

Why

[@kokonolike]

why on EARTH would they carpet the bed?? 🤣

[@nathanmcdonald610]

Because it's a Lincoln, the demographic of people who buy Lincolns aren't usually the type of people who are going to throw a bunch of cow shit in the back of their truck.
